Sam Nowell

Sam spent 13 years growing up in Indonesia and Singapore before returning to New Zealand for schooling, where he attended Auckland Grammar School before studying a BSc at Otago University. After a small stint crewing on a Superyacht in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, Sam decided to return to New Zealand and pursue his passion for People, Business and Technology. This led him into a career in Recruitment.

Role specialisations:Programme/Project Management, Business Analysis, Testing, Development (CRM/ERP), Infrastructure Engineers

Fun fact:I can dice an onion faster than anyone you know… and keep all my fingers.

Tech I couldn’t live without:More recently Netflix. I can’t get enough of documentaries, no matter what the topic.

On the weekend I’ll most likely be...:Either Surfing, Fishing or Diving, weather dependent. I am a huge advocate of the amazing coastline we have here in New Zealand.

Weirdest travel destination:Gibraltar – This is basically the last stop leaving the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a British Colony on the South coast of Spain, and a stone’s throw from Morocco. The town is basically Liquor Stores, Tobacco Shops and Fashion Outlets… all the essential Seafarers supplies.
